The life of Jim Davis was very unique, although he had everything handed to him, he wanted more. He wanted to travel the world and explore the cultural life. As I said before his position later was a handyman on a ship at the age of eleven, that traveled the world. Which was all he wanted, he didn't care if he slept on the ground and was at a stage of starvation. He loved his job in no other way. But later was appointed to a judge for "loafing" around. After that the judge sent him on his ways back to the Red Jackets. But Mr. Brown the man who walked him back, let him go. And thats when he ran; and later approached the area "mobile" known as the Grove. A very nice colored-man came up to him and gave him his heart, even though this man had little for his own; he still made room in his little house, and care for Jim like he was his son. Jim Davis later grew older, and his mind got the better of him. And again Davis dreams won! He later found work, but didn't love his new job as much as his old job but it was dueable. Since this day, Davis is still alive.. he may be grey haired but he is living a happy life with his wife.
The life of Jesse Owens was a completely different life of Jim Davis. Jim Davis was an african american boy who was born on an Alabama farm. He was one of eight sons of Mr. and Mrs. Cleverland Owens. He graduated the University of Ohio and became the fastest runner in the world. Later in his teen years he volunteered to be a running coach for schoolboys. Jeese became a great track athlete. Jeese was pasted along from high school to University of Ohio. He later climbed to the top and won world record in Berlin, Germany.
He received the officially, the Nazi Swastika from Reichfuekrer Adolf Hitler. After receiving this honor, Owens went to the radio beneath the stands where he made a brief talk in which he extended greetings to his folks back home in America. August 1936, the name Jesse Owens was written in huge black letters at the top of every newspaper, "Olympic Winner." By winning the 200-meter dash, Jesse Owens became the fourth American to capture three or more championships in one Olympic-meet.

i learned so much from reading these intervews. they really tought me how to apprecate what i'v got. you could tell from what the people that were interviewed said that just about everyone was poor. also there was a lot fo discrimanation. the great depression was a very hard time for everybody. i think everyone should take the time to interview someone, because you get to learn about a timeperiod that you were not alive for. by reviewing these interviews i got to see someone's views , through there own eyes. i learned that meny people had to take jobs that they were not use to because there was a shortage of jobs. some times they would wait around for hours just trying to fing some work in order to put foo on ther table or heat in ther homes.

What I learned about Mrs. Haggerty which I found most interesting was that she is 72 years old and still a maid. But what she did was not even housework; she was almost like a second mother to the child she was caring for as well as a nurse for the child and family. What I found to be a bit cruel about the families that she was working for were: she was only hired at first because of how she looked. Those were the most interesting things I found about Mrs. Marie Haggerty Maid, to see where I got the information about Mrs. Haggerty the website link is: [[http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/marie.html%3Cspan%3C/span%3EI|http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/marie.html<spanI]] also looked at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/clyde.html. What I found to be most interesting about Clyde Kingfish was he was a male singer, he was also African American. He made little money each day for the job he did. I thought he might get paid more for singing, but apparently not. I also like that he came form Harlem, New York. It does however make me wonder how old he is. It does not state how old he is in the interview. Next I decided to take a look at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/thorsten.html. I thought it was very interesting that he was 51, with no education and was an iron worker. You can have a look at his page at: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/throsten.html. I also looked at Mr. Garavelli, Stonecutter. The most interesting thing I found about him was that he liked his job. I wouldn't expect that Stonecutting is a very enjoyable job. After everything that I read on this site I've learned a lot about different people, as you can see above. I really did enjoy reading about all these people and what they did.
